I don't watch TV, but certainly the concept from Survivor has entered
our vocabulary. Someone[1] wrote to the manager of one of our town's
mail loops about a nasty letter she[1]'d gotten from someone[2] who had
already been warned about minding her[2] manners, and cced it to me.  I
received it just after getting a phone call from the manager[3], and I
wrote this reply to her.

Just got call from [name-3], disturbed about this. Told him to kick
her[2] off the island. He can't prevent her[2] sending a letter to
someone, but he shouldn't allow his list to be used as a conduit for
hate mail. Confirmed his intuition.
